I am surprised by the polarization, really - I have been using Gnome 3 on two machines for the last few months, and it works fine, though that doesn't mean I don't have a few complaints. But I don't expect it to be magically perfect - no other OS / wm I use regularly is either. I don't find Unity unusable, or Cinnamon or Mate, I just haven't liked any of them so much I'd switch (partly there's inertia at work here, I am sure I if I had to use any of them exclusively I'd have a better grasp of their strengths and weaknesses).
- darklajid 13y agoYou're a voice of reason. In another part of this discussion I compare the choice of your DE preference with the holy wars of VI vs. emacs. Obviously, of course, no DE is perfect. Gnome 3 is no exception. The polarization is, in parts at least, caused by the vocal group of complainers. I certainly reflect and understand enough to know that I might widen the gap here, but I have had enough of these 'Gnome 3 is stupid' (or for that matter: 'Windows 8 is a joke') posts with little (constructive, usable, meaningful) content. Again: Look at the article: If you don't argue against it, the 'Everyone hates Gnome 3' and 'Even Google suggests that everyone considers Gnome 3 a failure' arguments will strive. That's insane, stupid and needs to end. So - polarization is necessary. The loud 'Gnome 3 sucks' (minority?) group wins by default, otherwise.
